Place Louis XV, Paris, September 1815 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the Occupation of Paris after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. Maj William Loftie, from the 55th Regiment of Foot, skillfully depicts this scene on paper with watercolors. In this bustling square, now known as Place de la Revolution but temporarily revived as Place Louis XV during the Bourbon restoration (1815-30), military leaders and dignitaries gather in a grand coach. Among them are the Duke of Wellington, Emperor of Austria, Tsar Alexander I, and King Louis XVIII himself. The composition is alive with activity as allied soldiers stand proudly alongside their European counterparts in various uniforms. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and victory. Carriages line up behind the main coach while French civilians observe this historic event unfold before their eyes. Loftie's attention to detail brings each figure to life - from the elegant women dressed in period attire to the stoic soldiers standing guard. This painting serves not only as a visual record but also evokes emotions tied to an era marked by conflict and transformation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today at London's National Army Museum, it transports us back to that fateful day in September 1815 when nations came together amidst war-torn Europe for peace negotiations and political realignments.
